Master of Science in Mathematics - Actuarial Science and Statistics

The University of Central Missouri offers a master’s in Actuarial Science and Statistics degree, among our graduate programs in Math, to provide the advanced training you desire. Choose from a wide range of graduate courses covering topics in statistics, actuarial science, data analysis and computer science through a curriculum that earned us recognition by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and can help earn you recognition from employers. At UCM, you can concentrate on coursework for this master’s degree in either actuarial science or statistics. If you work in data analytics, you can take a combination of statistics and computer science courses for flexibility to fulfill your interests. Our course offerings also help you strategically meet any scheduling need. Choose to attend all classes on our Warrensburg campus or take a mix of on-campus and online courses for additional flexibility. You can also enroll on a full-time schedule that allows you to finish the master’s degree in two years or extend your graduate studies with a part-time schedule that allows you to manage life’s other demands more easily.

To be accepted into this program, a student must have an undergraduate major in mathematics, or coursework equivalent to a UCM major in mathematics, actuarial science or statistics with a minimum grade point average of 3.00 in upper-level mathematics, actuarial science, or statistics courses. A student not meeting these minimum standards may consult the Department of Mathematics, Actuarial Sciences, and Statistics for possible acceptance on a conditional basis.
